Abstract
An integrated circuit package includes a DC/DC boost converter for providing an output voltage at a program level to associated components of the integrated circuit package. The DC/DC boost converter includes a first mode of operation wherein the DC/DC boost converter is enabled responsive to an input battery voltage falling below a programmed level of the output voltage. The DC/DC boost converter also includes a second mode of operation wherein the DC/DC boost converter is disabled responsive to the input battery voltage being above the programmed level of the output voltage.
